SAN DIEGO — You’re up!

Nino Batista Workshop: Vision, Light & Precision

📍 San Diego, CA

📅 Saturday, December 6, 2025

This is a tightly focused, small-group masterclass where we dive headfirst into the real mechanics of lighting, styling, posing, and — most importantly — intent. I’m showing up with everything I’ve got, and I expect you to do the same.

We’ll build the light. We’ll shape the scene. We’ll shoot together. And we’ll dissect exactly why every choice matters — so you can stop guessing, start owning your workflow, and finally shoot the way you see it in your head.

This workshop is for:

• Photographers ready to refine their style and build with purpose
• Creatives who are tired of algorithm-chasing and want to create work that actually means something
• Artists who want direct, candid insight from someone who’s lived this industry from every angle

What you’ll get:

• A small, intentional class size for meaningful engagement
• Lighting methodology with context and control — not cookie-cutter setups
• Posing and direction breakdowns rooted in communication and nuance
• Shooting time with a full creative walkthrough
• Honest talk about evolving your voice, your business, and your output
• Full Q&A access throughout — this is a no-secrets environment

Bring your camera, your questions, and your vision.

You won’t be sitting back and watching — this is interactive, tactile, and tuned to where you are in your journey.

Photographers: The time to reinvent your work isn’t “later.” It’s now.

And if you’ve been coasting or hesitating or playing it safe — this is your reset button.

Workshop Etiquette & Participation Policy

This workshop is a hands-on educational experience, not a portfolio-building free-for-all. Please respect the flow of instruction and wait your turn to shoot. No sideline sniping, no shooting out of order.

Models work hard to help us create a professional environment, and their comfort and boundaries are non-negotiable. Any direction you give a model is entirely at her discretion. Her word is final.

The goal is to learn, ask questions, and grow — not to see how many shots you can take. Thanks for respecting the space, the process, and each other.
